Strudel Shot of the Week!

Strudel says Happy Holidays!

All the News...

Not a super exciting week. I did really enjoy the extra day off for Thanksgiving. I finally tried the famous "It's It" ice-cream sandwich, it was pretty good. But I want to try and make my own homemade version. Maybe a butterscotch cookie with rum raisin ice cream covered in chocolate?

I joined my cousins for Thanksgiving this year in Irvine. My cousin lives in this crazy apartment complex that's super luxurious but also ridiculous, it was really fun!
I think I found an apartment to live in, so I will be moving to the ghetto soon. Maybe I should write a blog about that!

When they make a movie about my experience it will be called "Just Another Girl on the PCH" and it will star Lady GaGa. Can't wait!

Cute Strudel Pic of the Week!!!

Somebody is being shy! (also, somebody has the ear hair of an old man!)

Fit to Print

Here's what happened this week:




I saw some cool tattoos.


Ate some yummy salty chocolate and chevre fig gelato with Whitney, Lenny, & Tony in Silverlake.


Saw some cool things at Silverlake shops, especially loved this handmade credit card sign!


Watched the Project Runway finale, I had been underwhelmed by the whole season but I liked the final show. Tim Gunn's advertised "meltdown" never happened. I missed the reunion show they usually did when the show was on Bravo.


And here is a picture of the sunset in my rearview mirror.
Have a good week all!

New Fall Shoe

I wish I could wear these shoes every day!

Jimmy Stewart

Most people seem to know him for later roles & westerns, when he seemed much more of a curmudgeonly character, but I prefer to remember him when he was young & lanky & adorable. Y'now, when he was rooming with Henry Fonda and they schemed to dig a tunnel into Marlene Dietrich's house next door, that sort of thing.

Nerd Boyfriend

I am loving this blog "Nerd Boyfriend". They aren't too wordy over there, but why run off at the mouth when you don't need to? Check it out.

Cute prints I want for my future home!

This one is from Brainstorm Print & Design. $30
I have always loved the old saying-"Red sky at night, Sailor's delight, red sky in morning, Sailor take warning"


Find this one at Blu Lima's Etsy shop. $12
You can also find the famous "Keep Calm and Carry On" print from Blu Lima. I love that design but find it a little too overdone at this point!


This calendar from Miriam Bereson is just too cute! $15


"For Like Ever" poster, I have loved this design since I saw it on the cover of Domino. $60


This one I am going to have to make on my own!

Today's random thoughts:

I have had a rather boring day of aimlessly watching the telly, and this movie Breaking & Entering is on. Normally the draw would be Mr. Jude Law, but I find myself not loving him lately, and rather thinking of him as a creepy balding sex addict. Two other things kept me watching, even though I am finding it boring.
1. Mr. Ed Westwick, before his GG days, as young croation gangster "Zoran", he's the one in the hat:


2. Mr. Martin Freeman, who I've been in love with since his portrayal of "Tim" in the original Office. Sadly, this is not the first film I have had trouble getting through with Martin in it, he has yet to find his niche I think. I watched "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" just for him and the adorable Mr. Mos Def!


In other thoughts, I didn't think I would ever say this, but red velvet treats have officially jumped the shark. Today at the store I saw red velvet cupcakes, red velvet cake, and red velvet whoopie pies. I'm DONE.

Want, Need

Want: I really think this adorable Jonathan Adler Shoe Butter Dish would be the perfect final touch to my new mid-century modern Los Angeles apartment.
Need: Not to mention that I need an apartment first, I'm concentrating on the important things, per usual!
Some people are not JA fans, but I think he's amazing. And he is half of one of the most adorable couples I have ever seen, JA & Simon Doonan have been shacking up for years!
